Come 2016, Mampi rolled out, “Rollercoaster”, a unique dance packed tune produced entirely by Jazzy Boy and written by the Queen Diva herself. The song caught fire almost immediately, by dominating radio charts and clubs. Earlier in 2017, Mampi re-united with super producer – Jazzy Boy for a collaborative effort with Chef 187 entitled “Watch Your Back”.
Mampi closed out her 2017 with a brand new visual for a single entitled “Nyula Yako” – A dance hall inspired melody produced by Magician alongside James Sakala who added some flavors with the Guitar. Mampi wrote the song herself and it happens to lead the way to her forthcoming album to be called “Nyula Yako”.
